They are probably comatose because they have absolutely NO idea what to say back!

They are probably about 24 years old, only have umpired at most 2 years, and probably DID blow the call! LOL

Single A umps are not all that great. They truely are rookies in umpiring circles. You can train them all you want, but until they get 500 games under their belt, they are going to do bonehead stuff, and not deal with situations very well.
